Abstract

An adhesive composition is described which comprises an extensin protein; either a non-enzymatic bifunctional cross-linking agent; or an enzymatic cross-linker comprising phenol oxidase and a phenol hydroxylase, preferably a mushroom tyrosinase. The extensin is a plant cell wall glycoprotein preferably prepared from carrots. The non-enzymatic bifunctional cross-linker is preferably a di-isocyanate, a quinone or glutaraldehyde. The composition preferably also comprises a co-factor such as catechol or catechin. The adhesive may be used in pharmaceutical compositions, in wound closing preparations, or as a gelling product in foods.

Description

1 - Adhesives The present invention relates 2336156 to water resistant
adhesives.
Adhesives are widely used both domestically and industrially. They are typically applied to dry first and second surfaces to bond the surfaces together,.,':or example as bonding agents to bond together particulate matter, or to adhere other solid materials such as woods and metals. it is often desired to bond surfaces together when one or more of the surfaces is wet. Many adhesives are, however, less effective or ineffective if the surfaces that are to be bonded together are wet or if water is applied to the bond after it has been formed. Consequently, much effort has been spent trying to identify and develop adhesives which are effective in wet environments.
Marine mussels are able to attach themselves to a variety of surfaces under water forming strong and durable bonds with those surfaces. The precise mechanism by which mussels achieve this adhesion is not known. J. H.Waite has described the proposed involvement of catechol oxidase and a phenolic protein (Mussel Beards: a coming of age. Chemistry & Industry, 1991, 607-611). The mussel polyphenolic protein is a highly repetitive protein which comprises 80 tandem repeats of a decapeptide of the sequence: Ala-Lys-ProSer-Tyr-Pro-Pro-Thr-Tyr-Lvs. The mussel protein is particularly rich in the amino acid 3,4dihvdroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-dopa). Catechol oxidase occurs extensively throughout nature and is known to catalyse the ortho hydroxylation of phenols and oxidation of the resulting catechols to o-quinones. Waite proposed, therefore, that catechol oxidase catalyses oxidation of the L-dopa residues in the mussel polyphenolic protein to Lquinone. It was suggested that adhesion results from a combination of coupling of peptidyl-dopa to the bound surface and crosslinking of the polyphenolic protein by reaction of peptidyl-dopa-quinone with nucleophiles such as the E-amino group of lysine res-1dues in the protein.
A catechol oxidase from mushrooms known as mushroom tvrosinase is available commercially and has been shown to hydroxylate tyrosine residues in synthetic decapeptides -'dent'cal in sequence to the repeal sequences in the polyphenclic protein (Marurr.o K. and Waite j.H. (1986) OiDtimization of hvdroxylation of tyrosine and tyrosnecontaining peptides by mushroom tyroslinase. BlochemIca er Bloph_yslca AcLa 872, 98-103).
Large scale production of the mussel polyphenolic protein has been attemiDted commercial adhesive which tyrosinase. Methods for -orotein from mussels are US 4 585 585, and US 4 68 2 z z z with a view to production of a can be crosslinked by mushroom isolation of the polyphenolic described in US 4 496 397, 740. None of these methods, however, have proved to be commercially viable because the polyphenolic protein can on-ly be isolated in small quantities.
'90 97/19141 describes a method of manufacture of an adhesive comprising crosslinking first and second molecules such as gelatin and chitosan, each having one or more aromatic groups, via at least one quinone group. Gelatin and chitosan are _readily available and adhesives formed '--v this method show some resiszance to water. However, the bonds formed are not as strong and durable as those formed by the mussel polyphenolic protein. A further disadvantage that gelatin is not soluble in water at room temperature and has to be heated before use. Ch-'tcsan is only soluble at low nH.
It is desired therefcre to produce bioadhesives which are effective in wet- environments, which can be produced cheaply in bulk quantities, and which have improved,p_roperties over known readily produced bioadhesives.
Extensi- oroteins are hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins present in the cell walls of dicotyledonous plants. The exact function of extensins is not known, but they have proposed to play a role in the structure of plant walls. Extensins also accumulate in plant cell walls been cell upon 3 wounding and pathogenic attack and are therefore also thought to be involved in defence. It is known that extensins are inherently sticky and their adhesion to glass, polypropylene, and polyearbonate has been described in a papper by Miller' i.G. and Fry, S.C., (1993) (Spinach extensin exhibits characteristics of an adhesive polymer. Acta Bot. ATeerl. 42(2), 221-231). However, the mechanism of adhesion here appears to be a mixture of purely intramolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions. Oxidative processes are not involved as the adhesion is not inhibited using reducing agents such as ascorbate, mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol. Althoug'n native non-crosslinked proteins can adhere to inert substances, the set adhesive will be sensitive to moisture. Ultimately strength loss and bond breakage will become apparent. A successful commercial adhesive system must be crosslinked both to improve the strength of the adhesive and to ensure adhesion in wet environments and areas of high moisture.
Extensins have been proposed to form crosslinks by Fry, C.F., (1982) (Isodityrosine, a new crosslinking amino acid f4 rom plant cell wall glycoprotein. Biochem.J. 204, 449-455). Fry suggested that hydrogen peroxide and a peroxidase enzyme such as horseradish peroxidase could be used to form isoditvrosine bonds via an ether linkage between two tyrosine residues. Formation of dityrosine crosslinks via a biphenyl linkage between two tyrosines was not thought to occur. The formation of an isoditvrosine bond and comparison of that linkage with the dityrosine linkage is represented in figure 1 of the accompanying drawings.
The proposed existence of such crosslinking suggests that extensins may form adhesives in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and a peroxidase enzyme. However, it is most unlikely that formation of an adhesive based on addition of a cofactor such as hydrogen peroxide will be practical. Hydrogen peroxide is a relatively low viscosity liquid and would be very difficult to mix with other components of the adhesive which also tend to be relatively viscous. Hydrogen peroxide is also fairly reactive and it 4 . r 0 " 5 2 C 31 1 is likely that bond formation would occur too quickly after it is added to the other components of the adhesive. A further disadvantage of hydrogen peroxide is that it has a r1 Any contamination from, for eatively short shellf-life. example, dirt would introduce bacteria, many of which contain catalase enzv-,nes which breakdown hydrogen peroxide.
Peroxidase has also been proposed to be involved in the hyd-roxylation of L-tyrosine residues to IL-Dopa (K1ibanov A M Berman Z., and Alberti B.N. (1981) Preparative hvdroxvlation of aromatic compounds catalysed by peroxidase. J.Am.Chem.Soc. 103, 6263-6264), suggesting an alternative role for peroxidase in crosslink formation similar to crosslink formation in the mussel polyphenolic protein adhesive. However, this reaction requires oxygen and dihydroxy-fumaric acid and must be carried out at O'C, otherwise non specJLfic oxidation of other amino acids occurs. Use off peroxidase for crosslinking of extensin proteins has therefore not been thought to provide a viable way of producing a commercial adhesive.
It has surprisingly been found that extensin proteins have remarkable adhesive properties.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a co=osition for use as an adhesive comprising:
an extensin Drotein; and e-"ther non-enzymatic bifunctional crosslinking agent; or phenol oxidase and a phenol hydroxylase.
According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a composition for use as an adhesive comprising:
an extensin protein; -Qhenol oxidase and a phenol hydroxylase; and non-enzymatic bifunctional crosslinking agent.
According to the --'nvent-Jon there is also provided a method for fo----, i-ng an adhesive according to the first aspect of the invention which comiDrises admixing an extensin protein with either:
an amount of a non-enzymat-Lc bifurctional crosslinking agent; or an amount of a phenol oxidase and a phenol hydroxylase effective for inducing crosslinking of the protein.
Z:
Also according to the invention there is provided a method for forming an adhesive according to the second aspect of the invention which comprises admixing an extensin protein. with an amount of a non-enzymatic bifunctional crosslinking agent, a phenol oxidase and a phenol hvdroxvlase effective for inducing crosslinking of the protein.
Each component of compositions according to the invention may be soluble in water.
When using a phenol oxidase and a phenol hydroxylase for crosslinking, it is possible to include as a cofactor a comprises at least one O.L a monohydroxy phenol group or a dihydroxy phenol group. Examples of phenolic moieties which comprise a dihydroxy phenol group include catechol and catechin. The cofactor should be soluble in water. The cofactor may be present at about 1% weight by volume of the composition.
The term "extensin protein" used herein is defined for the purposes of this application as covering:
(i) natural extensin proteins, such as plant extensins (for example carrot, spinach, etc.); (ii) non-natural synthetic extens-ins, such as extensins produced chemically or by expression of _recombinant DNA JLn a suitable host; (iii) extensin derivatives (whether chemical or synthetic) which have amino acid sequences which differ from the extensin sequences by virtue of amino acid substitution, deletion, or addition, protease truncation or post translational modification; but which retain extensin activity.
Natural extensin protein as referred to in (i) above is a plant protein rich in hydroxyproline, tyrosine and lvs--'ne residues. The content of hydroxyproline in carrot extensin is at least 50%, the content of tyrosine is at least 10.1%, and the content of lysine is at least 6.9%.
DNA encoding carrot extensin has been cloned (Chen J. and Va-rner J.E. (1985) An extracellular matrix protein in plants: characterisation of a genomic clone for carrot extensin. EMBO J. 4, 2145-2151; Chen J. and Varner JE (1985) chenolic moietv whic Isolation and characterisation of cDNA clones for carrot extensin and a proline-_rich 33KDa protein.

c:
0 2 C 3 = Derivatives of the extensin as referred to in (--lii) above mav be obtained by ex-p-ression. of a modified DNA including a modified extensin gene. A derivative of the extensin may be substantially free of carbohydrate.
The extensin protein may be present in the composition in ar amount upto about 50% weight by volume of the composition, for example, the ex-ens-J., i protein may be present in the composition in an amount from about 20% to about 30% weight by volume of the composition.
A procedure for isolation of an extensin according to the invention from carrots is described below:
Carrot extensin proteins were isolated from cores (7rrir,) of phloem parenchyma sliced with a scalpel into lmm thick slices. Carrot preparations (90g) (finely chopped or gently homogenised', were washed twice in distilled water and incubated in pozassium phosphate buffer (5mM, pH 6.0) containing chloramphenicol (50mg/m1) -for three days at 2CC with s'-akinc. The extraction buffer was exchanged each day. On completion, the carrots were washed in distilled water and immersed in a solution (600mi) containing polyvinyl polypyrro'Lidone (PVF1-P) (9g) and dithiothreitol (DT1) (-"rnV-, -final concentration', The tissue was homogenised for two minutes in a blender, pelleted by centrifugation and washed with eight litres of distilled water. The cell wall pellet was further extracted (3 times) with 20OmI of a solution containing calcium chloride (0.2M final concentration), DTT final concentra.ion', and:-VIPP (9g) On centrifugatlon the sunerna,ants were pooled, filtered to remove anv sol-- material and reduced to a volume of SOM1 us i na u--"tra-f-i-'trat--'on (10,0C0 molecular weight cut-off) Tr, e concentraied extract was dialysed overnight in distilled water at 4,-- and further reduced in volume to 10m_ bv ul.:ira'ilt--a--ion. Each 1OmI volume was adjusted with IM (p.H 8) to give a final 7r-"s concentration of The material was then applied to a cation exchange column (12 x 1.5 cm) (CM-Sepharose CL-6B) previously equilibrated with tr-is/HCl (1OMM, pH 8) and the protein fractions eluted using one column volume of tris/HCl (pH 8) followed by a linear gradient (60m1) of 10-30OmM tris/HC! (pH 8). T_ he elution profile was monitored at 280= and the frac--io.-s (3m1) corres.;:)onding to each peak were pooled and dialysed overnight with sodium acetate (10OmM, PH 6) at 40C. The dialysed samples were freeze-dried and weighed before further analysis. In all purifil cations peak 1 from the cation exchange column was ignored as it was primarily made uO of PvPP.
It is noted herein that peroxidases are not phenol oxidases. Peroxidases act by hydrolysing hydrogen peroxide. it is possible that oxygen liberated by this reaction can oxidise phenolics, but this oxidation does not occur by an enzymatic process. Phenol oxidation is not possible in the presence of a peroxidase without the addition of hydrogen -ceroxide. It is also noted herein that peroxidases are not phenol hydroxylases.
The phenol oxidase and the phenol hydroxylase may be a tyrosinase. The composition can contain at least 0.005% weight by volume of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase has the advantage that it is readily available from a variety of sources. The tyrosinase may be a mushroom tyrosinase. The mushroom tyrosinase may be Agaricus bisporus tyrosinase.
The non-enzymatic bifunctional crosslinking agent may be p_resent in the composition from about 0.1% to about 5% weight by volume of the composition. The non-enzymatic bifunctional crosslinking agent may be any non-enzymatic bifunctional crosslinking agent capable of inducing crosslinking of a composition for use as an adhesive according to the invention. The non-enzymatic bifunctional crosslinking agent may be at least one of glutaraldehyde, a di-isocyanate, or a quinone. The diisocyanate may be Trixene, for example Trixene BI 7986 (Baxenden). Trixene has the advantage that it is blocked and unreactive until the temoerature reaches 130C. Compositions according to the invention that comprise Trixene may therefore form a thermosetting adhesive. The quinone may be a benzoquinone or a derivative thereof. The amount of the benzoquinone in the composition can be about 1% weight by volume of the composition. The benzoquinone may be 1,2-benzoquinone, 1,3- benzoquinone, or 1,4-benzoeruinone.
It has been found that the rate of oxidation of groups mav be conveniantly controlled by varying the amount of phenol oxidase and phenol hydroxylase that is added, allowing the rate of linkace o be readily controlled. The rate of linkage may also be controlled by varying the amount of the non-enzvmatic bifunctional cross!-"nking agent.
When compositions according to the invention that contain the nonenzvmatic bifunctional crosslinking agent form crosslinks, the nonenzymatic bifunczional crosslinking agent reacts with the E-amino group of lys--'ne residues the extensin protein. Each molecule of non-enzYmatic bifunctional crosslinking agent can react with upto two i5 lysine res--'dues. When the two lysine residues are in different protein molecules, crosslinks are formed between different protein molecules. When the two lysine residues crosslinks are formed are in the same protein molecule, within the same protein molecule.
When compositions according to the invention that comprise the phenol oxidase and the phenol hydroxylase form crosslinks, the phenol hydroxylase catalyses th e hydroxylation of the phenol group of tyrosine residues in the protein -7-o form a d--'hydroxv phenol group and the phenol oxidase catalyses the oxidation of the dihydroxy phenol group to form a quinone group. The quinene group of the modified tvros-ine residue may then react with the E-amino group of two lysine residues in the protein. When one or bo-:ih of the lysine residues are in the same protein molecule as the modified tvrosine residue containing the quinone group, intramolecular crosslinking occurs. When one or both of the lysine residues are in different protein molecules to the modified tyrosine residue containing the quinone group, intermolecular crosslinking occurs.
Tvrosinase has the advantage that- it is a phenol hydroxylase and a phenol oxidase. It will be appreciated therefore that compositions according to the invention which comprise tyrosinase have the advantage that a separate phenol oxidase and a phenol hydroxylase do not have to be 32 3:
i 0 -,5 2 5 added to the composition because the phenol oxidase and the phenol hydroxylase activity are on a single molecule.
The hydroxylation and oxidation of a tyrosine residue by tyrosinase is shown in figure 2 of the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 also shows reaction of the oxidised tyros.ine residue with the e-amino group of a lysine residue in the same protein molecule.
When compositions according to the invention that comprise the phenol oxidase and the phenol hydroxylase further include a cofactor which comprises a phenolic moiety with a monohydroxy phenol group, the phenol hydroxylase catalyses the hydroxylation of the monohydroxy phenol group in the cofactor to form a dihydroxy phenol group and the phenol oxidase catalyses the oxidation of the dihydroxy phenol group to form a quinone group. The quinone group of the modified cofactor may then react with the E-amino group of lysine residues in the protein to form crossl--'nks within the same protein molecule or between different protein molecules.
when compositions according to the invention that comprise the phenol oxidase and the phenol hydroxylase further include a cofactor which comprises a phenolic moiety with a dihydroxy phenol group, the phenol oxidase catalyses the oxidation of the dihydroxy phenol group of the cofactor to form a quinone group. The quinone group of the modified cofactor mav then react with the E-amino group of!vs-,'ne residues in the protein to form crosslinks within the same protein molecule or between different protein molecules. Thus, a cofactor comprising a monohydroxy phenol group or a dihydroxy phenol group may be used to increase the number of crosslinks formed compared to compositions according to the invention which comprise the phenol oxidase and the phenol hydroxylase that do not include the cofacto-r. The number of crosslinks which can potentially be formed may also be increased by increasing the number of tyrosine and/or lysine residues in the extensin protein by recombinant means. However, care should be taken not to increase the number of crosslinks formed too much as over-crosslinked adhesives can be brittle.
